The inspiration for this cartoon strip came from a vicar who mistakenly preached a sermon on "gaberdine" instead of "Gaderine" swine. For Roy Mitchell, the images this conjoured up of pigs in raincoats began to develop and eventually grew into the regular cartoon strip.

L'ouvrage de Roy Mitchell, intitul Creative Theatre, parvient saisir et retracer brillamment un moment historique et culturel unique de l'histoire canadienne. La somme de Mitchell, qui demeure ce jour le seul grand ouvrage canadien consacr la th orie th trale, r ussit int grer une analyse culturelle extr mement pouss e une pratique d'interpr tation enracin e dans une th orie th trale r solument moderniste, ces deux champs op rant simultan ment comme un vecteur de communion spirituelle et transformationnelle et comme une voie initiatique pour les praticiens et le grand public. Sachant cela, comment est-il possible que cet ouvrage n'ait jamais t r dit depuis sa publication initiale en 1929 ? En fait, Creative Theatre constitue un texte tout fait inhabituel dans les annales de la litt rature canadienne car la vision rebelle et r tive qui l'anime nous pousse nous interroger sur ces deux champs - l'analyse culturelle et la pratique d'interpr tation. Par ailleurs, le travail de cat gorisation est particuli rement compliqu car il ne s'agit pas d'une oeuvre litt raire ou dramatique conventionnelle ou formellement exp rimentale. Le choix de publier de nouveau cet ouvrage refl te, d'une part, la volont de lui redonner la place qui est la sienne dans le discours culturel canadien et, d'autre part, l'int r t croissant pour des textes modernistes perdus qui offrent une vision alternative et remettent en cause les id es re ues et les canons de la litt rature, de la culture et du th tre canadiens. L'engagement r solu de Mitchell en faveur des th ories et des techniques modernistes d'avant-garde, d velopp es en Europe, souligne l'importance du mouvement du Little Theatre au Canada et les liens troits qui l'unissent aux mouvements qui ont suivi. Par ailleurs, son attachement ind fectible la th osophie, une doctrine sot rique pr nant des mesures politiques radicales, s'opposait frontalement l'image et aux valeurs v hicul es par la soci t protestante conservatrice du d but du XXe si cle au Canada. Ce livre est publi en anglais. - Roy Mitchell's Creative Theatre brilliantly captures a fascinating historical and cultural moment in Canadian history. Mitchell's treatise remains Canada's only full-length work of theatre theory that incorporates a concentrated cultural analysis and a performance practice rooted in modernist theatre theory, which simultaneously functions as a transformational spiritual communion and initiation for its practitioners and its audience. How then is it that it has remained out of print since its original publication in 1929? Creative Theatre is a decidedly unusual text in the annals of Canadian literature, challenging both fields with its recalcitrant presence. It is not a conventional or formally experimental dramatic or literary work, complicating the work of categorization. This re-publication reflects its rightful place in Canadian cultural discourse, as well as the growing interest in 'lost' modernist texts that offer a counter-narrative to received ideas and canons of Canadian literature, theatre, and culture. Mitchell's commitment to European avant-garde modernist theories and techniques highlights the importance of the Little Theatre movement in the country and its connection to the movements that followed. His equal devotion to theosophy, an occult movement with radical political leanings, arguably contests the image of the staid, protestant society of early-twentieth-century Canada. This book is published in English.

With it’s glorious backdrop of fifties rock and roll, Lemon Popsicle told of the sexual misadventures of three boys in Tel Aviv. The film broke box-office records around the world and helped to establish the producers, Golan and Globus, as a force in Hollywood. Britain’s Popsicle expert, Roy Mitchell, pools his resources with the historian, Paul Sutton, to produce a pictorial celebration of all the Popsicle films and spin-offs, from Eskimo Limon in Israel, and the Eis Am Stiel films co-produced in Germany, to the popular U.S. remake, The Last American Virgin.
